- The Darkest Winter · 64 pages
Robin is disheartened by Batman's belief that most criminals are irredeemable. He convinces Batman to try to help Mr. Freeze find a cure for his wife Nora. Batman sets him up with a lab. In the past, Victor and Nora have disagreements on how he spends his time. In the present, Victor gets frustrated and trashes the lab, returning to his old ways, and the truth is revealed: he denied Nora the end she wanted. Batman and Robin take him down. But in return for his help, Victor gives Dick a gift: new freeze technology to help the world.
Publisher’s description
Going back to the Dark Knight's early days in Gotham City: Batman and Robin, Dick Grayson, face down the coldest winter Gotham City has ever seen. A winter so cold that Mr. Freeze, Victor Fries, no longer needs his containment suit to survive; he is in an element where he can thrive. Robin empathizes with Mr. Freeze, all Freeze wants to do is save his wife, Nora—but Batman warns Robin not to give his empathy to Victor Fries. He’s a man who decided his own fate a long time ago and he deserves none of our warmth. And this winter... he will show his true wickedness and power. The powerhouse creative team of bestselling writer GERRY DUGGAN (X-Men, Deadpool, Arkham Manor) and MATTEO SCALERA (WHITE KNIGHT PRESENTS: HARLEY QUINN, Black Science) brings you Mr. Freeze’s most frigid story yet.
